I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal?
Kentucky law prohibits possession of a firearm by anyone convicted of a felony after July 15, 1994, even if the person was convicted as a “youthful offender.”1
Also, federal laws, which apply to all states, restrict an abuser’s right to have a gun if:
s/he was convicted of a felony;
s/he was convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor; or
if you have a final domestic violence order (DVO) against him/her that meets certain requirements.2
